CORRECTION re VTA TRACKING - item in NPCA Newsletter #22, February 2010

An error on page 8 of the newsletter about an amendment to the B8 VTA Tracking Guideline has been corrected. The item gave the misleading impression that all VTAs require tracking, but this is not the case. See the correction notice on page 8 of the corrected newsletter #22 for details.

NPCA apologises for the error.
